Bud Flagstad: Recommend the Avocado and Lobster salad! Very good!
Dëva Holik: Great restaurant especially for meetings. Great bar with good selection of wine and whiskey. Their garlic soup is fantastic and make sure to try their Chilean sea bass.
Martin D. Ciao: Great place for your special anniversaries! The restaurant is quiet but lively, especially at happy hour. This is not the happy hour for college kids. Food was VERY good. Must try chocolate souffle.
Kristen Adam: Calamari is delicious comes with fried lemons & fennel... genius! (Not in to tomato aioli, substitute the lemon basil). Lobster bisque = yes. If you like olives, the warm olive app will make your day.
Kristen Adam: Sunday champagne buffet brunch... is it a bit expensive, yes. Is it worth it... you better believe it! Crab legs, cheesy tater tots, carving station, fritata, charcutery, I could go on and on.
Ryan Chang: I loved the clam chowder and prime beef meatballs! However, the lobster bisque was VERY salty and made it very difficult to consume, so I don't recommend it.

Lee Yi: Try the Traditional Mezze - Hummus, baba ganoush, rice filled with grape leaves, spicy sweet walnut dip (muhammara), tabouleh, and pita bread
Kenneth Cannatelli: The chicken pillard salad makes want to hug strangers.
Lindsey Garrett: They seem to have revamped the menu. Happy with the extras and deep friend garbanzos on the hummus. Portions were larger too.
